A Letter From General Manager
Kenly Announces tho New
Schedule.
Io referesce to the change of ecbedole on j
the Bishopville Railroad Agent C. G. Row-1
land has received the following letter:
AUahtic Coast Line Railroad Go ,
Office of General Min ager,
Wilmington, N. C., Jan. 22, HOI
Mr. C G. Rowland, Agent,
Sumter, S. C.
SJDear Sir : We have decided upon a change
io the train servir? oo the Bishopville branch
which will enable passengers on that branch
to reach Sumter m the morning ia time to
connect with train No. 52 for Columbia, and
ratarn in the evening to Sumter on train No.
63, which will pat them on the Bishopville
branch the same eveaing. We hope to make
this change on tbe 3rd of next February and
you eau make it known ic Sumter.
Yours very trait,
J. R Ksoly, Gen. Mgr.
From this it will be seen that the change of
schedule was granted io compliance with tbe
petition of the business men of this city and
that the new ecedale was decided open before
the Railroad Commission took ap the matter
wuk the A. C. L. authorities. Wheo the
petition was sent to General Manager Kenty
toe wrote the committee of business men that
the A. G. L. was anxious to de anything
wubin the power of tbe company to serve tbe
best interests of Sumter and that if possible
to arrange it the schedule on the Bishopville
branch would be changed as suggested in the
petition, bot that if the change should be
made tt would be at considerable expense to
tbe company. The fact that the change bas
been made shows that the A.C. L. authori?
ties are willing to work with the business
men of this city and have done all that was
asked as to the change of schedule The
business men appreciate the aetion cf the A.
C. L. authorities aad will cot be unmindful
that tbe interests of this city and of the At?
lantic Coast Lioe are so closely allied that
what helps ooe helps the other.

The Ladies* Home Journal.
Theodosia Burr'? remarkable life story is
capitally told by an admiriog writer in The
February Ladies' ? Home Journal. Such
extremes of joy and sorrow as wera the lot of
''The Beautiful Dasghter of Aaron Burr"
come to few women. The story of the famous
hymn, "Nearer, My God, to Thee." and a
close view of its brilliant author, are united
io "A Woman to Whom Fame Came After
Death." How we get aod keep the correct
time is explained in "The Clock by Which
We Set All Our Watbes," and "The Buffa?
loes of Goodnight Ran cb" is a record of the
only herd of North American bison owned
by a woman. Lovers of "Cranford"-and
they are legion-will be delighted with the
dramatic version in tbe February Journal.
Tbroegh Edward Bok representative men and
women jo a rn al Uta emphatically settle the
aft disputed -question, "Is tba Newspaper
Office the Place for a Girl ?" There seems to
be bot one opinion among those who should
know most on the subject. "The Problem of
the Boy," "Why One Mao Succeeds and His
Brother Fails," and "The Trying Titre
Between Mother and Daughter" are all
thoughtful articles. Architecture, the fash?
ions, culinary matters, and all theare? inter?
esting to womeo are amply treated By The

The city certainly seems to be on a move
Many new residences acd stores have been

large comber of residences are soon to be
erected. Six will be built on Church Street
and five on Graham, asd several on Main

It ts also stated that Messrs Geo D Shore

Next door to this Dr. DeLormeJ will have a

If all of these buildings are put ap, tbe city

Public Schools Criticized.
Mr Eiitcr: I ata minded to say a few
tbioga about oar scbocis aad c:ber mattera.
A great aetd in sotas places ia a good bouce
with raap3 charts de3k3 etc Some of lbs
school bouses for whites are a mere nnree,
very uncomfortable, with no furniture what?
ever. How can children be taught to write
for instance, without desks. I", some places
the children are pcorly provided with book3
three often studying io one book. How can
a teacher do good work nader 6uch circum?
stances? We ask this question not because of
any complaiat that has cone to our ears
Often there is another trouble with careless cr
indifferent parents. The teacher cannot put
cn those restraints, and uie that discipline
they feel necsssary becauae tbe_.off<;noed chiid
coming at pleasure will stay away if things
do cot suit it. We have penoed these lines
because v. e feel that a better day when a live?
lier interest will be taken in education is just
ahead of us. There is much to be door,
many improvements to be made. Ooe thing :
our schools ought to be consolidated, two cr
three merged into one with two teachers and
the methods cf teaching in our city schools
used mote extensively. Our jteocbers ought
to be capable aod paid more and our schools
ought to run longer. But in some places the
present length often seems too long judging
by the attendance. A remark just here,
parents should not try to make field bands
of their children during school term. A
child will have enough to do if it gets its
lessons.
Libaries ought to be started io all our
schools.
The educational outlook cf the county is
very favorable we oelieve because we have
got an effluent County Superintendent, a
man who does not hesitate to look into and
inquire about matters and methods, and,
having several years experience in teaching
is able to suggest aod instruct. He has a
future before him. Observer.

PISGAH NEWS.
Pisgah, Jan. 29.-Winter ha9 come at last
with a rush. For the !a3t two week3 we have
felt its full force, aod the number of people
who are soetz-ng and coughing shows that it
is here. The doctors say it is the "grip," a
malady imported from Siberia under the
jurisdiction of Russia. Very unkiod in Rus?
sia to allow such an exportation to a friendly
country, but we have a faiot recollection that
io the dim and misty past we used to have
cooghs and cold?, but possibly in our pro?
gressive country they have developed ioto the
preeeot aches that so many complain of. To
make a long story short, we have the grip,

that the published limit of time by the effi
cials is no good. No excuse for extension

A great deal of taffy is used by same con?

The defeat of the Thomas bill is regretted
by tboso who feel a deep interest in educa

public ones are anything but a farce, no one
can see otherwise. It is time to better tbe

schools. Better that than to have this mis?
erable system continued auy longer. Of
course there are exceptions to this in the
